Presentation of the study “How Bosnia’s Political Economy Holds It Back And What to Do About It”

The study offers an analysis of the key aspects of the way in which the government structures in BiH function, identifying the problems that prevent the country’s progress in the process of European integrations, democratization, strengthening of the rule of law and economic development. A dominant problem emphasized by this study is a political corruption and the fact that key institutions and processes in the country are used to meet the private interests.

The study also contains a set of specific recommendations, whose implementation would lead to strengthening of the institutional framework and faster implementation of reforms in the country.

The authors of the study are Boris Divjak and Srdjan Blagovcanin, and it was published by the Johns Hopkins University, the Paul H. Nitze School of Advanced International Studies (SAIS), Center for Transatlantic relations (CTR).
